Re: 3web - Sick of "unlimited download" claims yet?
mlerner: I pay for what I am led to believe I am paying for. As an Enlish Major I have learned that words are not randomly-generated communication signals. You want to inform someone, you use a word; you want to deceive someone, you use a word. In this case, I am only fighting for fair advertising that does not misrepresent or imply untruths about the service being offered.
Sean: So 3web is now World Authority Over use of English Language, is it? Ever heard of a little thing called "false advertising"? People have been sued for less. I am not asking for bandwidth, I am asking for truth.
jbcalg: Thanks for the vote of confidence, but people have done more with less. It's time to teach corporations a lesson that without the consumer they are nothing. Capitalism is good, but only when it serves its users, not rephrased and usurped.
andyb: I got this straight from the source: 3web is a slave to Cybersurf Corp., which is a slave to Shaw Cablesystems. It pays to have an intermediate company between a company everyone loves to loathe and the company everyone hails as "the destroyer of Shaw," ironically. The technical part is exactly like Sean said.
